tit 'i ßi "Blade-"> liia race between crows stroked by ilesso and Banks respectively eventuated on Monday evening. Rain fell heavily throughout the time the race was rowed, but the water was flowing down at a fair rate, and was as calm as could be desired. Banks won the toss and elected to take a course on the town sido of the river. Both crews swung to'their work in good style, but Hesse's longer stroke t aw i £ im for? e gradually ahead until ne led by a little over a length at the new bridge, and was going so well that 'vi 00 if d as thou Sn he would have no difficulty in pulling away from his opponent. Banka was not d<an© with however and plugging along* steadily reduced Hesse's lead at the gryone to less than half a length. , Thence onwards a gruelling race resulted, Banks challenging repeatedly, only to be as otten and determinedly 1 off Hes.se winning by a very narrow ma'rgm- T

Appearances would indicate that if ■Denies ihad had his crew out a, week or two earlier, his gameness and; doggedness would har-> resulted in sueoees. On Saturda- ..moon Flynn's fcrew —which has chosen to represent tn,e Union shed as the maiden orew in the regatta- ;:]■•.'ged in 'a good spin down the xivor. The boat travelled well, although No. 2 seemed to swme « bit too far back. The challengers lor representation in;fthis event were also out, and they look a very likely lot. Brydon, who is stroking the challengers, is a strong oar, and 'being supported by a sturdy crew, promises to put up a good fight when he meets Flynn.

the craws are:—Flynn (str.), Walton Quirk© and Prideaux. Brydon (&tr.), Sfiiithiea, J. Drennan and Bennett. - •'. . '. .

The race will- be held in about a fortnight's time, that is; provided Flynn is perfectly satisfied with his crew.,-, , m It isprobabte •that A 6r4w -eonsisih' Wadman and Fmdlay .will? challenge/ the senior crew—Cotterill "(stir.) Rylands, H, Shame and Oorby—chosen for the Union shed. Should the firstmamed orew win, they will ibe the club's representatives at- the local regatta but owing to W. Dustin'e inability to travel, they will now row together after the championship meeting.
